    Teaches people to always read EVERYTHING....including the fine print!

    Besides, the title alone should have given it away..."Faction"....ummm no

    I read the title, and my first thought was "WTH are they smoking?" since the only game I know of with faction specific mounts is WoW.

    OHHO! You caught that little detail did you?

    Well done.

    I'm sure SOME....not many to make enuff noise....but SOME ppl,read the thing halfway or some who are not too good at reading english, just look at the pics and went OMMGZOR!!!!>went straight into game and bought a wing for their barb, a sword for their elf....etc etc.

    It's a pretty sweet move,by the GMs tho if u ask me.

    Hehehehe it was a fun trick. But hello, the whole article was way to cheesy to be true; I mean come on "Perfect World International - truly a living breathing monument to the glory of a society without restrictions! Now let us embrace the purity of unity and soar high above the sun speckled clouds together in an embrace of one"b:chuckle. You would have to be pretty gullible to believe this news flash, all you have to do was scroll down, even just to see the pictures.

    I suspect if you had outlayed 20 dollars on a new mount you might be singing a different tune. I didnt get caught by it. I checked the requirements on the item in the cash shop window first. I still think it was a disguised cash grab first, and humor a far far second. Only a complete idiot (and theres quite a few of them in this game) would condone a business deliberately lying in such a way as to boost its profits.

    i think it is illegal and there will be people wanting to sue or get there money back. its tricking people to buy something off the internet (games count) that is no use to them or what they thought was going to be use but isnt ill look it up. and being one day early means you cant say it was a april fools joke even if it was did GM's or MOD;s who where asociated with this aware of the outcome this might make?

    Lol...I think that **** is bordering on illegal...I mean look at the front page.

    http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/7901/factionmts.png

    And also did you see what they did? They changed the april fools part to big bold red letters and moved it all the way up to the top. When it was first posted, there was a huge gap between the pictures and the words were the same font size as the other text. Can I say for sure they did it on purpose?. I don't know. LOL

    A general reply to all those ppl that actually BELIEVED the April Fool's Joke ~ um, can you READ? Apparently not, or you are just too lazy to scroll down and finish reading the post! (And yes, it was April Fool's day in California where the PWI servers are located., so those ppl complaining that it was only March 31st when this was posted, are also IDIOTS! )

    As to the premise postulated in this particular post, that the ppl at PWI deliberately did this to make money in the cash shop, are you really that bereft of "little grey cells" that you either:

    1: didn't bother to read the whole post, or
    2. BELIEVED it, even after it was clearly stated that it was a JOKE!

    To reiterate: Anyone with any brains at all, could see that this was an APRIL FOOL'S JOKE!

    If you morons out there QQing about this being a "cash-grab" in disguise had bothered to READ the whole post, if was very obvious that it was a JOKE! (And a very funny one at that; my b/f and I read that and LOL'd) ~

    I am continually astounded at the stupidity of some of the players in here, so I am putting the question out there: "ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER?" You should be at LEAST this smart to play this game! ROTFLMAO!

    NOTE to PWI: Great joke guys! I loved it ~

    To anyone who thinks they will be able to sue PWI because they wasted money is crawling up the wrong tree. They stated clearly at the bottem of the Announcent page that it was an April fools joke.

    All you will be doing is wasting more money on a lawyer just so a judge can throw your case out the bloody window on the basis of you neglecting to read the entire web page of information.

    I would laugh so hard if someone actually tried to sue them, then hear about PWI counter sueing for having them wasted time and money to defend themselves from ignorants.

    How is it tricking anyone? If you had used your brain and actually did more than look at pictures (i.e. READ THE DAMN ANNOUNCMENT through..) you would have seen in big bold bright red letters.. that it was an april fools joke. The ones who didn't get it, are the real fools. so.. if YOU bought one of those mounts because YOU didn't do anything more than look at the pretty pictures then YOU are a fool and 'A FOOL and his MONEY are soon PARTED'

    Only IDIOTS fell for this. I and my girlfriend looked at it, scrolled down, saw the Ha Ha Hee Hee and KNEW it for what it was.

    Saitada it wasn't like that for a while. The april fools joke was NOT red for HOURS after they posted it. It was also about 20 enter key presses below the pictures and the same font size as the description.

    Epic lulz.

    No it was not 20 enters lower. It was close enough that both me and my g/f saw it w/o any problems and LOL'd about it. As for being red now and not then, that is true, it was simple white text, they changed it because too many IDIOTS didn't bother to read to the end of the page.

    The simple fact is, those who didn't bother to finish reading and jumped right into the game and started buying w/o thinking about even bothering to check to see if what they bought was even listed as "all class" got exactly what they deserved for not doing so.

    If people are going to be idiots, they need to suffer the consequences of their idiocy.

    If me and my g/f had no problem reading the entire 'announcement' and seeing that 'announcement' was an April fools joke, there is no excuse for anyone else not seeing it as such.

    Right after the servers shut down for maintianance....

    LITERALLY, 1 minute later...you can go to the site or click as if logging into the game...and....OMG!!!! What is it that you see...THE ANNOUNCEMENTS!

    I started a thread literally 4 minutes after server shutdown and it the Red April Fools was clearly on the page.....Damn I knew I should have have photoed it.....

    FYI--> The Thread....oh and if u look on page 2.....it was noted about the April Fools Joke being just that 17 minutes after server shutdown.....THX b:bye
